Your dual citizenship has absolutely nothing to do with going to university in Denmark. There is no reason to even mention it. You are a Danish citizen, therfore, just pick a university, apply, get accepted and go. Of course, you must have sufficient savings to pay your way and living expenses. You will NOT be a foreign student...so just meet the admission requirements and go.

Denmark does not recognise Duel citizenship (going through this with my own children). If you can prove strong links with denmark (have lived here in the last 7 years, visited for a lengthy time, and maybe seen a doctor dentist talked to the tax office, something that has been documented) you will have a better chance to get you education for free, if you cannot then you will have to pay the same as everyone else and you will need to ensure you have enough money to support yourself. unless you can get work but as that is in very short supply you may find that difficult. Don't for get that as holder of Danish citizenship you could be called up for military service (Denmark still has conscription). You are better off contacting your family here and talk to them, they will get through the system much quicker then you could. Also they will be able to find out your status in the country. If a person is Danish and has lived out side the country for more than (again I think its 7 years) you are basically not better off then any EU citizen, but as I think you asked this from the States a person there would be even more at a disadvantage. My wife (danish) was made to feel like a traitor when she returned to Denmark after 8 years away. SU is five years. The strong links again does mot mean just having Danish citizenship, you have to PROVE you have lived in Denmark for a period of time (this is now changing as they want to save money on education) At the end of the day Just because you have a danish passport/citizenship, does not mean you entitled to the same treatment as a resident Dane, you could also contact the places where you would like to study.

Rugratz gave a pretty good answer, but I still want to elaborate a little.. First of, it is possible with dual citizenship, if one of your parents were Danish citizens, but exactly how it works, depends on when you were born.. I have three cousins, with a Danish father and Norwegian mother, all of them born in Norway, but the oldest of them with Danish citizenship, the two youngest with Norwegian.. Besides this example, I have some friends living outside Europe, with Danish citizenship, as well as the country they live in.. I would recommend you to contact the Danish embassy where you live.. Besides that, if you study in Denmark, with Danish citizenship, you're entitled to receive financial aid (SU - Statens uddannelsesstøtte), though I'm not totally sure about any exceptions (I know there are some), again, contact the Danish embassy where you live.. Finally, I think it's as low as two years you have to live outside, before you loose some of your rights, though, as far as I know, it's only for Danes born in Denmark and then moving away from the country..

In need of any Australian/Danish people who have been or lived in Denmark for an extended period of time

In need of any Australian/Danish people who have been or lived in Denmark for an extended period of time!?
Howdy, I am currently a senior student doing the subject Society & Culture. As part of my assessment, I am to research Danish Society & Culture and am seeking any Australians from any age whom are willing to provide information on their stay in Denmark. I am conducting a short interview which I am hoping will increase the accuracy of my results & can be answered online. This interview will not breach anyones privacy as it's nothing personal, just basic questions on Danish society in general. Anything at all will be extremely helpful. Cheers.

Is it reasonable to study in Denmark

Is it reasonable to study in Denmark?
I am a United States Citizen, as are my parents, but I wish to study abroad in Denmark and eventually live there. I lack for money though. Is there any reasonable way to achieve my goal?

Absolutely if you speak Danish. They have a free university system for their citizens.
2 :
International exchange programs would be the easiest way to go. This would also give you an opportunity to spend some time in Denmark to see if it is actually somewhere you could imagine living.

Do Princess Elisabeth of Denmark and Rory Emerald live in a palace by the sea

Do Princess Elisabeth of Denmark and Rory Emerald live in a palace by the sea?

Yes, that is correct. Purchase of the property, at £17.5 million, was financed almost entirely by Rory from advance payment for his amazing "bacon tree" technology which he sold to the Danish government. Pictures of a bacon tree sapling were accidentally leaked on purpose (by Rory himself) to the press recently. While to an untrained eye photographs of this wonder may look like an IKEA potted plant with strips of raw bacon crudely attached with duct tape, Rory claims that when full grown the tree will yield more bacon than 32,000 pigs. He also owns a flying pig with Michael Jackson's nose, which is currently housed in the Elizabeth Taylor wing of the palace.
2 :
Yes, the first answer has it right - Rory recently purchased the property for 17.5 million pounds, which in US currency would be about $35 million. However, due to the aforementioned bacon tree, the property is believed to be worth over $50 million! Excellent Question!!
3 :
Yes they do.
4 :
The bacon financed story was a cover up, the truth is that Rory was much rasher. He financed the building of this fabled "New Elsinore" love nest on exclusive Canvey Island entirely from his private finances, a risk he has never been know to have taken before. Unfortunately, the passion between the pair has cooled dramatically and these days the Princess can be seen at midnight wandering the ramparts of the building muttering, "Alas, poor Rory .. .. ..".
